So let's say in this hypo, someone is hit with a faulty search warrant or some other kind of unconstitutional search. That search turns up some huge amount of valuable contraband, like a few dozen kilos of cocaine.

Obviously a good defense attorney would be able to suppress the evidence, but the government isn't going to return the kilos to the D, right? So that person is just shit out of luck and down several million dollars? Is there no remedy for their forfeited property?

You can go in and say it's yours and ask for it back but that's copping to the felony your lawyer just got you out of so probably not a great idea.

I know by the letter of the law that's nothing close to entrapment, but still seems pretty unjust.

You ask for it back. They give it to you. They arrest you for possession.
